David’s review is very thorough and thoughtful. I may not like what he says at first because it goes against what I’ve written, but after our discussion I know his ideas are better for the book I want... Toon meer

David Lombardino took a rush job from me and did a very thorough developmental edit. I incorporated many of his edits and I think my work is much better for it. Thank you David!

I did not like that they did not…

I did not like that they did not completely rewrite my literature review for me. I will not be recommending this company.

Thank you for expressing your concerns about the service we provided you. For academic projects we offer Proofreading, Editing and Editing & Feedback services only, and we aim to provide these services to the best of our abilities. We hold firmly to the limits of proofreading and editing, and do not extend these to include writing or rewriting, to avoid plagiarism, among other issues,

Would use them again in a heart beat.

Service Fast but Result is too dry for me to use.

Your service is speedy and the editor who worked on my synopsis was adept at the English language. The finished product was clear, but very dry and did not convey my writing voice. I am having the synopsis reworked by a NYC acquisition agent freelancing from an agency since the added text made the synopsis very long and it felt too wordy. This new editor asked me if I would let her condense the synopsis to 1 page. Slush piles are long with agents and I welcome her rework of my synopsis. No agency has time to read 2 pages of story detail. I would recommend that your editors keep that in mind when working on synopses.

Antwoord van David Lombardino | DLA Editors — Editorial & Consulting

We are sharing parts of the email we sent you regarding your project:

Thank you for sharing your expectations. We understand that this has been a frustrating process for you. We believe if there simply had been a closer alignment in expectations, these frustrations could have been avoided.

Regarding having deleted the subject of your presentation and asked you to put it in again, we believe you were referring to “rheumatoid arthritis,” “cholangitis,” etc. Is that correct? As subjects, “rheumatoid arthritis,” “cholangitis,” etc. are vague. They give no clear, specific understanding of what your presentation was about. The easiest way to address this concern, and the preferred way of listing presentations in a CV, is to provide the title of the presentation. In lieu of a title, you can put a more specific subject, for example the effect of a certain drug on reducing joint inflammation in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

The CV you sent for review had 340 words and was comprised predominantly of headings and titles. There was little in the way of descriptions, which is where we could have done more for you. The average CV we work on is 1,400 words. The CV service is a flat-rate service, so certainly the client who sends 340 words will feel he did not receive enough, while a client who sends 2,460 words will feel he got a bargain. That is the nature of a flat-rate service.

Where we feel disappointed is in receiving only 340 words to work with, because we know how much more we could do if only we had been entrusted with more to work with.

DLA Recommendation

I worked with Terry Cummings on my MBA application essay and he was great! He provided really good and insightful feedback on my essays.
The process of getting the right service for what I needed was a bit confusing to me at first, but David Lombardino was a great help in sorting that out. Overall great experience. I recommend them.

I satisfied

I satisfied, but I think my expectations were higher than the results. There were some things that I thought would be done through the discussion that I did not see. I am thankful to have found you all.

Editing of my paper

With reference to the last week editing of Part 1 of my paper, Mr. David Lombardino did excellent job. However, a second “pass” on the edited text should not take too much time and may provide additional editorial comments.

ATA Preventability Guidelines

Our reviewer did an excellent job putting the text into one voice and ensuring a much better flow. After working on this project for six months, I think all of us in the office were not seeing what we needed to see in terms of the grammatical structure, but were rather focusing on the technical. It was absolutely critical for us to receive an outside edit to make this the best publication possible.

letter of recommendation

I am a loyal customer of DLA editors for many years and I have been satisfied with all the editors I worked with so far. I only gave four stars because I did not appreciate the price for letter of recommendation editing. I think there should be more of a price control for multiple edits. You should either have a package like you do for personal statements 3 edits and a polish or give like 40 to 50 % off for the 2 edits and just 10% off. I got 2 edits and paid $473, which I did not mind. After my second edit, the editor asked me to add two more sentences to further describe two examples. I wanted her to see those two sentences to make sure they are properly written. However, I did not want to pay another $224 just for those 2 sentences. I asked the editor if she can help with those 2 sentences but the editor said that she is not allowed to help. I think after people invested that much money, you should be willing to help out at the end if it is minor like that. It just made me feel like you don't really care about your customers' projects.

Thank you, Deepthi, for that suggestion! Many times our best ideas come from feedback like this. Changing the discount amount is the easier of the two options, so that is what we will develop. Thanks again for the tip!
